How Do I Use PPT for Simple Combo Animations that Look Cool

Do you wish you knew how to convey your simple 2-line thoughts in a simple display ad that takes maybe less than 20 minutes (30 mins for beginners) to complete?

This is a dilemma faced by every busy executive that desperately wants to cut short wastage of time and efforts.

The trouble is, many of them are not designers. Worse, many are not storytellers.

It's not their folly, it's just that they haven't quite mastered the art of communication in a simple way. After all, it's not their job you see!

So what's the solution?

Well, the answer is not far-fetching. It's right there on your computer to make use of. It's a tool you're sooo familiar with.

It's called PowerPoint.

In this article, you're gonna see no presentation, but a nicely animated set of 3 groups of texts.

They are:

• Replace texts
• To Create Your
• PowerPoint Video.

If/when you make this animation, you will of course use your ad copy, your colors, fonts, their size, order of appearance, and even animations.

Just in case you do, here's how the resultant GIF might look like (see below). It's not only lightweight (1.34 MB, 480p), it's easy to send via email or through other internal channels.

Cool, isn't so?

Watch the video

The short video illustrated below shows the animations and transitions used for the text blocks in the slides to make them work.

For good measure, I've included 2 slides that show horizontal animation in the 1st slide, and then a vertical animation thereafter.

The 3rd one is a dummy slide in that its use is only to return to the status-quo of the first slide so that the cycle of animation can easily repeat as shown in the GIF above.

Here's the video.

Takeaway

Admittedly, I've made the whole thing sound simple in this article. And simple it is, though it may seem daunting at first!

The 2 key takeaways in this article are -

1/ the choice of brief statements that are able to convey something meaningful. And, then of course, the trick lies in

2/ animating them sequentially, so that it meets your purpose.

Rather nicely, if you ask me!
